Scroll of Dead online slot from Play'n GO takes place in Ancient Egypt. In fact, this game is one of the 'Dead' series from this provider. This slot offers some similar features and starts out with just 5 reels and 10 paylines. However, there are a lot of extra features to unearth with the reels expanding to 6 later on down the line. The slot contains a plethora of different options including bonus spins, expanding symbols, and more. It also offers a wide betting range too, going from 10p up to £100 per spin. This is coupled with a 7500x the initial bet maximum win that can be claimed during one of the bonus features. Finally, the slot has an RTP of 96.28% putting it slightly higher than the norm for this provider.
What Scroll of Dead is all about
The Scroll of Dead slot is the sequel to Play'n GO's Legacy of Dead online game. As with the previous game, this is all about Ancient Egypt. However, here, there's a new god and this is Shai, the God of Fate. Shai herself does in fact smile down on the reels as they spin. As well as the suitable backdrop — the reels sit on a mysterious blue underground chamber complete with torches — there's an ambient soundtrack bringing the game to life. On the reels are a wealth of Egyptian-themed icons including Horus, Cleopatra, cobras and Ankhs. Cleopatra is the highest-paying of these offering up 500x the initial stake when five land on the reels. There are low-paying icons as well and these are represented by the Ace to 10 card values on the reels.Additional symbols
There are some additional symbols that play an important role within this game. For instance, the scarab beetle is the wild. Landing this on the reels can help to get some winning combinations as the beetle will replace other symbols. Additionally, if five of them land on the reels, they too will pay out a top prize of 500x the initial bet, just like Cleopatra. However, this symbol has yet another task to perform. The scarab also doubles as the scatter. When three or more of these land on the reels in one spin, the bonus spins are awarded. This symbol will also payout up to 200x the initial stake when it is being played in this format. Finally, the game can also be played on a range of different devices, losing nothing on the small screen.Bonus Spins feature
There is only one main bonus feature available in Scroll of Dead, and this is the Bonus Spins feature. As mentioned, to trigger the bonus spins in this game, at least three scarab scatters must land on the reels in the same spin. This will award 8 bonus spins. But there's an addition to this feature. During the bonus spins a sixth reel is added. This can then give 6 of a kind payouts, which means that they will pay out more. In addition to this, there's also an expanding symbol that comes into play. This expanding symbol can provide wins on non-adjacent reels, which means that payouts occur in a more scattered style than the usual linear payouts expected on slots of this kind.Bonus Spins feature extras
With the six reels in play during the bonus spins, there are bigger wins to be claimed during each of these spins. Depending on the expanding symbol that lands on the reels, the payouts that can be claimed will vary wildly. For instance, during this feature when the low-value card icons 10 to Q land, they each payout 150x. However, the K and A will pay 200x the stake. The Horus and Ankh icons payout a 1000x the initial bet, with the cobra paying 3000x. Finally, the top-paying icons, Cleopatra and the scarab wild, each pay the top amount of 7500x the initial bet. Additionally, there's a gamble feature here, so it's possible to double any winnings by guessing the colour or suit of a hidden card. However, the entire win can also be lost.Summary of Scroll of Dead
Scroll of Dead slot is very similar to other games in the 'Dead' franchise, but it has enough additional features to stand on its own. Like its predecessor, this game has an Egyptian theme, but the difference comes with that extra sixth reel that's in play. This, alongside the bonus spins feature and the boost to the symbol payouts. Instead of the 5000x from Book of Dead, this offers a more respectable 7500x the initial bet. The slot also has a higher-than-average RTP for this provider, which does make it more appealing. It is a high variance game though. This means wins don't come around all that often.
